Reply #31: Obama already initiated it [View All]

and the moment he did, Israel declared Obama's foreign policy a disaster.

Obama is pragmatic. What does Iran want? What do most of the Arab states want? They want to be left alone. Saudi Arabia is left alone - why? Saudi Arabia is all the things Iran is - and more. But the US and Saudi Arabia have a special deal....leave us alone, and we send you all the oil you need. The critical issue with regards to Iran and the US - is that the US interfered with Iran's desire to nationalize its oil. The elites that they installed were brutal, repressive and corrupt. The US could care less...as long as the oil flowed from American and british companies, and to American and british bank accounts.

Saddam Hussein was just as brutal, just as repressive...and he was useful, very useful as long as the oil was flowing and paid for in US greenbacks. The moment Hussein proposed an Oil Bourse, he became a mortal threat....and WMD were used as a sales campaign to sell the threat.

A possible deal between the two might include:
Iran leaves Israel alone and will not attack and will not support terrorist organizations.
The US leaves Israel alone and will not provide any more military aid.
Iran agrees to stop its nuclear enrichment in favour of Israel allowing inspections of its facilities and signing the non-proliferation treaty. Once Israel has done so, Iran dismantles its program.
Iran agrees not to interfere on behalf of the palistinians and withholds all aid, all donations coming from muslim organizations abroad.
The US agrees not to interfere on behalf of Israel and withholds all aid, all donations coming from jewish organizations abroad.
The UN, NGO's, humanitarian missions withdraw until a final settlement is made between Israel and the PA.
The US, Iran,and all the Arab middle eastern states, and the UN all set up a future fund of aid to be distributed to Israel/Palistine and hold all those funds until a settlement is made. Three appointed Israeli's and three appointed palistinians hold the keys to the vault.
Israel and the PA negotiate - without ANY foreign interference - and not one dime goes to the region until both parties sign on the dotted line.

Any future aid will be contingent on how both parties treated the other in the final deal. Israel is in a far stronger position militarily, but Hamas has its own fair share of weapons. For every palistinian life lost, regardless of WHO it is, it will cost Israel 1 billion dollars in future aid. For every Israeli life lost, regardless WHO it is, it will cost the PA 1 billion dollars in future aid.

Iran gets what it wants....the west leaves. Israel gets what it wants - its neighbors to recognize it and not attack it. Palistine becomes a real state. The refugees are dealt with finally. The US gets what it wants - a middle east settlement and real stability.
